Effects of Two Variants of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass on Metabolism Behaviour: Focus on Plasma Ghrelin Concentrations Over a 2-Year Follow-up

Abstract: In the second year of follow-up after BS, morbidity continued to improve in MO patients despite a lesser weight loss in relation to the first year. An increase in plasma ghrelin concentrations was found, regardless of nutrient contact with gastric fundus. Furthermore, changes in plasma ghrelin concentrations appeared to be independent of weight loss.

“…Most of these factors, if not all, show dramatic changes after surgically induced WL and may participate with more or less impact in the improvement of IGF1 after surgery. On the other hand, the difference in ghrelin changes observed in our patients depending on the surgical procedure is in agreement with previous studies (37,38,39,40). These results confirm that the resection of the fundus by SG, the main location of ghrelin-producing cells, is the basis of the observed decrease in ghrelin concentrations (38,40).…”

“…Increases in ghrelin levels post-gastric bypass have also been seen (Garcia-Fuentes et al, 2008;Holdstock et al, 2003;Perez-Romero et al, 2010;Ybarra et al, 2009); however this may be associated with active weight loss rather than the surgery itself (Faraj et al, 2003). Several explanations have been proposed for the conflicting findings regarding ghrelin levels following gastric bypass surgery including differences in pre-operative insulin resistance, surgical methods and post-operative vagal nerve dysfunction (Pournaras & le Roux, 2010;Vincent & le Roux, 2008).…”

“…For patients who are already obese, an effective treatment should be established to promote weight loss and thus prevent or treat its comorbidities, such as CKD. There is increasing evidence that weight loss not only helps to reduce glomerular hyperfiltration and proteinuria [2830, 34, 58–62] but also attenuates metabolic disorders associated with obesity, such as hypertension [28, 29, 58, 63], altered lipid metabolism [28, 29], insulin resistance and inflammation [28]. Few studies have investigated the fundamental pathophysiological effects that lead to improvement of renal disease in obese patients on low-calorie diets.…”
